HI THERE! HERP DERP HERP. I'm really hyper right now from school and all, all this amazing stuff happening. Ya know, the usual. Especially this cute gay boy in my German class 8D But anyways, enough homosexuality and not enough friendship. Yes that's right, this is a flashback to the very first time Ame and Kiba meet! Don't you guys feel so special for inspiring me to write something? It's super short because I wrote it super quick (seriously, like five minutes.) but I'm sure you'll enjoy it just as much. I am not sure about the update this week because of my driving lesson and cousin's birthday (the big FIRST birthday!) but I'm sure I'll update somewhere between those two events. A special thanks to Lady_Yuuki who keeps reviewing my story with each chaper; your reviews always make me smile C: see? That's what I do whenever I read your comments, fo srs. Well anyways, onto the little flashback. There will be no warnings because little Ame is just a child and hasn't learned how to swear yet. (Blame Kenta for that one you guys) To get a visual of what she looks like: Short pink hair, probably the length Sakura has when she cut it in the Chunin exams; a white boy shirt, brown pants and black sandals. Nothing too extrordinary. Kiba, well probably his lounging clothes, which consists of his usual pants and sandals but 86'ing the big coat and opting for a tan shirt with brown patches on the elbows. I stalk him too much in the anime OTL. Anyways, super tl;dr, just go and read the damn flashback XD
"She'll be just fine, Hokage-Sama. Ame should be at the class's level right now, we've only started to cover the basics." Iruka smiles at his aging Hokage, said man looking grumpily at the teacher.
"Yes, yes, I'm well aware of the curriculum. I'm just worried that, now everyone has made friends, it'll be hard for her to fit in. It's my fault that I'm letting her in a few weeks late; she was getting fussy anyways. Hopefully you won't maim her while I'm gone, I'll be here to pick her up later." with that, the Hokage nods Iruka off and leaves, Ame's shield from the young man completely gone. With a startled look, she hesitates before gulping.
"Well hello there!" Iruka says with a bright smile, crouching down to the ten year old's level. Big blue eyes blink before creasing with a wide smile.
"Hi! The old man said you're my teacher, but you don't look like one. Where are the other kids?" looking around anxiously, Ame tugs on her shirt while slowly frowning.
"They're out for recess right now, so it's just you and me in here. I think it'd be best if you wait until they return so I can introduce you properly." Ame pouts at Iruka's words, but remembers what the Hokage said to her earlier.
- "Remember Ame, do whatever he says and you won't get in trouble. I'll be watching you today, so no funny tricks!" His old fingers tap on his glass sphere, one Ame has looked into many times before as well. -
"Okay…I guess that's cool. I don't want to go outside anyways." Putting up a front, the young girl goes and hops up on a table while playing with her short pink hair. Swinging her legs, looking around the room, huffing from time to time; Ame gets fed up quickly, throwing a look at Iruka.
"Can't I do something fun around here? This is boring." just before Ame can get a reply, a horde of children her age rush in, still hyper from playing outside. She slides off the desk, seeing as some of the kids need to sit there and all. Slowly, Ame goes to stand next to Iruka, looking at the vastly different faces.
"Come on class, settle down, I have someone special here to introduce you to. This is Ame Chii, she is going to be with our class from now on. I expect you all to treat her properly and make her feel welcome on her first day." Iruka places a hand on Ame's shoulder, pointing to an empty seat.
"How about you go sit over there, next to Kiba Inuzuka. Don't worry, he doesn't bite." With a warm smile, Iruka lets Ame walk up the stairs, cheeks flaming with embarrassment - so many eyes on her at once caused her to feel pressured.
"Actually, that's not true sensei. Kiba does bite!" a child from a row over with a pudgy face and a bag of chips says, and the class laughs at his comment.
"At least I don't sleep all day like Shikamaru!" the boy, Kiba, defends himself while a small puppy explodes from his lap and up onto the table, barking excitedly. This frightens Ame, never seeing a dog up close. She hesitates before easing into the seat slowly, tugging her shirt down into her lap.
"This is Akamaru, he can be loud sometimes, but he's the best dog in the world!" Kiba gives Ame a toothy grin, who in turn smiles back, reaching out to pet the dog. Akamaru allows her to, even licks her palm, happily wagging his tail. Kiba stares after a moment before grinning once more.
"He likes you, this is a good omen…I think. My mom is always talking about that kind of stuff."
"Oh, that's good I guess then. Does this mean we're friends, because your dog likes me?" Ame gives a slight smile, letting Akamaru crawl over to her and onto her lap. She giggles slightly, petting the excited puppy.
"Sure, why not? I can never have too many friends; especially since everyone likes me so much."
"Kiba! Stop distracting the new student, I'm teaching you over here!" Iruka belts out, throwing an icy glare at the brown haired boy. He sticks his tongue out when Iruka's back is turned, leaning to whisper in Ame's ear.
"Meet me at the front doors after class, you can come meet my mom and sister, hang out and stuff. Okay?" Kiba's voice is barely a whisper, and he's pretending to pay attention well before Ame can reply. He knows the answer though, from the large grin on her face.
